Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So this offensive Mexican joke is that several people of different nationalities are jumping from an airplane. They all realize that their back pack has no function except for the American. He jumps, pulls the chord, a parachute opens and he lands safely. Then the rest jump but their parachute is just a backpack. So, mid air, they all begin to pray. Each pray for different soft things to land on... For example the French man would pray "dios mio, dios mio que caiga end in colchon" which translated to English is "my god, my god have me land on a cushion/mattress". Fast forward to our Mexican representative who is usually either Indian/indigenous or from some place like Chiapas where people are short, brown and speak funny due to all the China, Japan and Filipino trade of years past...they fake the accent by saying "diosico" instead of "diosito" which translates to "little God" God in an endearing way. But since we already spent too long on the joke, he has no time to finish his prayer..." Diosico, diosico! Que caiga diosico! Splat!... He falls mouth first on the ground became diosico sounds also like "de osico" which translates to " from the mouth" worst is that osico is the word for a beast's mouth like a bear, a horse or a dog. At this point everybody laughs. As I am now older, much older and American... So wiser... I realize just how shitty Mexican racism is towards the most vulnerable Mexicans of which group I am one of. Anyway, I hope this helps. Maybe someone can make it Russian and tell putin he's an imbecile.
I see! Thnx for the detailed explanation. This does how information dense silly jokes can be.
